Biggest Reach was Carolina taking Najee Harris at number 6. He was the third-best HB on my board and doesn’t fill a position of need for the Panthers. JT could’ve waited at least another round to take him. He’s currently the fourth-best back on the team.

Best Pick was the Steelers taking Laviska Shenault Jr at 15. He was projected to go 6th, but fell pretty far. He’s the number two receiver on a pass-heavy offense. Only one player was rated higher than Shenault.
